But generally, they do need to peer directly with you. Although some systems enable request forwarding, and nodes can see the names of indirectly connected nodes. But they can't see those IPs, just the IP of the node that handled the forwarding. >> If you didn't encrypt locally, they may find bad stuff (even >> if only as temp files).

I agree. But it's what Freenet devs recommend. And not only is it not practical for many new users, it's not very reliable. Because you have no way to know which of your "friends" are state agents, or informers. >> and make sure that you >> encrypt everything, locally and in transit.
